I have written before about the March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation on 25 April 1993.
But, of course, the night before that was the first ever Dyke March, a smaller but by no means less thrilling affair. It remains one of the greatest experiences of my life, caught up in a sea of drumming, dancing, singing, chanting lesbian humanity, marching from Dupont Circle to the White House, watching rapt as Lesbian Avengers stood in a line and ate fire.
This video by Lesbian Avengers captures some of the scene. I can still remember some of these people. They are total (s)heroes.
